Called number back would not give me the name of company.

Caller wanted me to settle a claim today

got a missed call from this number today. They told me that they were an intermediary company collecting a debt from a payday loan I made 5 years ago ( which I had paid off within a month). The only up to date info they had on me was my current phone number. I did give them any new info as I knew this was a scam... claimed the loan company had just contacted them last Friday and the lady on the other line would not disclose the name of the company she worked for... how absurd. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!

Had a call from Greg Vinton, claiming I had to pay 855.55 for a payday loan I apparently had. Gave my last 4 numbers of SSI and mentioned several different old address I resided in a long time before, he even listed family members I don't have contact with. I could tell he was trying a lot of ways to verify my information that he already had. When I told him I wasn't going to pay or answers any more questions until I received something in writing plus having been scammed before with calls like this I didn't trust his questions or having to know so much about me,  he said fine. He would put the pending court case on hold and email me forms. He never did nor did he give me his address when asked or complete company name. This call and address came from a residence in Chicago.

I called them back after repeatedly calling my phone. Gentleman said I owed money for a payday loan from a few years ago. I have never taken a payday loan out. He kept naming off addresses and people that are easily obtained off someone's credit. Said I have not responded to the letters sent to me. I have not received any letters. I told him I knew this was a scam. He was nice but said I would have to settle this in court.
